I needed this validation today 💕😊 #ADHD

This is my fear as well.

That’s right… Bill Kristol?

Gotta cut costs by . . . firing volunteers?

JFC, this just keeps getting worse.

Trump will now attempt to fire Powell.

Y tho?

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

That the vice president of the United States is an absolute POS is not news, but it's always worth repeating.

What dystopian bullshit is this?

HHS set up a snitch line to report trans kids and their providers. You know what to do... www.hhs.gov/protect-kids...

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Daredevil: Born Again season finale AND the season premiere of Doctor Who? Why, yes I will!

Oh, here’s video of the ICE axing his way into a person’s car to kidnap him. Look how fucking happy he is.

it’s chewsday innit

Smart strategy: "The compact's funds would be distributed to provide immediate and strategic support to any member institution under direct political or legal infringement, including legal counsel, expert testimony, legislative advocacy and countersuit actions..." www.idsnews.com/article/2025...

As a biologist, I'm appalled at pride the White House takes in willful ignorance. In yesterday's executive order about NPR and PBS, their first example of "the trash that passes for `news' at NPR and PBS" is the statement that "banana slugs are hermaphrodites." But this is unequivocal fact.

She really is quite stupid.

What a joyful government-approved kidnapper.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

#BushtitoftheDay This male Bushtit thought he was a hummingbird and ended up with pollen all over his little face. So angry! #birds #nature 🌿

I guess there was only room for one South African plant in the Oval Office

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

No lies detected.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

African Elephants are my favorite land animal species, by far. During yesterday’s earthquake, my babies at the San Diego Zoo reacted to the quake, immediately protective of their most-vulnerable Community members. Humans could learn SO much from these beauties, if we’d just humble ourselves. 🐘🐘

I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

Ravens have 17 primary wing feathers, called pinions. Crows have 16 primary wing feathers. So the difference between ravens and crows is a matter of a pinion.

My partner got weirded out by how much my new calathea plant wiggles during the day, so of course I had to capture an 11 hour timelapse of it wiggling.

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

Can barely process how angry it makes me to see fascist bootlickers like Karoline Leavitt, Pam Bondi and JD Vance smear an innocent family man like Abrego Garcia

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has committed hundreds of crimes. And the fact that we can’t find evidence of any of them proves just how devious he was about covering it all up. by Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

What you're seeing are wet microbursts—intense downdrafts from thunderstorms that slam rain into the ground, creating those stunning lobes. Like a reverse explosion from the sky. Captured in Perth, #Australia

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Edibles culture has gone too far and it is DANGEROUS. NO to infused matcha croissants made with French butter. NO to salted goats-milk caramel corn. NO to fresh-fruit-juice gummies. Edibles should taste like they were made in a garage so that, this is important, I don’t love them and want to eat 5.

Thank you @jeffjarvis.bsky.social

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.
